What does Paired Option Contracts mean ?

Paired options contracts allow you to hold 2 positions on the same Option with the same strike price and expiration. It consists of 2 legs: a Call option as well as a Put option with the same expiry and strike prices. A paired option contract has the same market lot and tick size as the Call option.

If you 'Buy' an option contract with paired options, a buy call option and a sale put option are generated. However, if you 'Sell' an option contract with paired options, a sell call option and a buy put option are generated.
